Ryan was at the top—champion of the world’s biggest VRMMO, but one wish changed everything. “I wish I could start over.” The Orb of Wishes granted it. Literally. Time snapped backward. The world unraveled. And Ryan woke up years in the past, holding his younger sisters close in a rotting apartment, broke and desperate. This time, he’s not starting from scratch. He remembers it all.

But when he logs in, something glitches. His old character is locked. His class is reset. His power? Supposedly gone. Then the system flashes something strange: [Access Granted: Legacy Bank Synced] [Warning: You were never meant to exist.] Ryan grins. He doesn’t need a strong class. He doesn’t need fair odds. He has what nobody else does—endgame knowledge in a beginner’s world, and an account holding gear, gold, and exploits that broke the game once before. He’s done being a pawn.

Offered a second chance by the very beings who led him to ruin, he’s thrust back in time with all his memories intact. This time, though, he’s not playing the role of a noble shield. No more selflessness. No more obedience. No more being a pawn. Armed with future knowledge and a will forged in failure, he vows to rewrite his story — to take everything for himself. Skills, loot, allies, power… all of it. It’s time for one man to climb to the top, no matter what it takes.

warning this synopsis is AI generated Seventeen years before the events of High School DxD, a powerful soul is reborn into a new world—a world brimming with devils, dragons, and gods. This soul awakens as the last scion of the extinct Buné Clan, one of the original 72 Pillars annihilated during the Great War. The child, born of a human mother—an artificial warrior created by the Sigurd Institution—carries within him the powerful Boosted Gear, and a latent affinity for dragons and swordsmanship beyond his years. At six years old, he regains the memories of his past life and the vast knowledge once lost to death. With this awakening, he sets a new path forward: one that intertwines ancient draconic legacies from Fairy Tail (including 100 Year Quest), the mystical chaos of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and the sacred timeline of High School DxD. In this fusion world, dragons rule both sky and myth, with familiar beasts such as Igneel, Acnologia, and the Chaos Dragons reshaping the supernatural balance. The MC traverses realms to gather strength and ancient knowledge: Dragon Prince Tensura Moonlit Fantasy Arifureta a/n: I do not own any of the works used in this fanfic Though he avoids assembling a peerage at first, he eventually forms an all-female roster—warriors, mages, and dragons across dimensions—devoted not only to him but to his vision of a multiversal alliance against an ancient evil threatening all worlds. Unlike others, he does not receive his Evil Pieces until much later, through a mysterious method involving remnants of the Buné sigil and lost demonic rites. As the High School DxD canon unfolds, the MC walks beside and sometimes in the shadows of major events—guarding Issei, allying with Rias, clashing with Vali, and challenging the very destiny imposed on devils and dragons alike. With the lost swords of Sigurd in hand, Boosted Gear blazing, and the knowledge of a thousand dragons, he will carve a new fate across worlds, balancing human heart and draconic soul.

New Current Schedule - Minimum 2 chapters / a day Mass Release Target - 40 golden tickets ________________________________________________ [Novel synopsis]; In a world scarred by the rise of biomechanical warfare and the shadow of an enigmatic syndicate known only as Ragnarok, one girl stands at the edge of revolution. April, a seemingly ordinary 20-year-old living in the fractured remnants of a future society, hides a past drenched in trauma and secrets. Blinded and deafened during a harrowing attempt to escape her abusive father—a man who destroyed her family—April is forced into a life of silence and darkness. But everything changes after an experimental surgery implants nanotech into her skull, technology far beyond anything humanity should possess. Now, April sees without eyes and hears through a new kind of sense. The nanotech has awakened a dormant potential in her—a coded sigil etched behind her head shaped like an angelic wing and a spear. It’s not just a symbol. It’s her Gear, a powerful combat system linked to ancient animalistic and Zodiac powers—each wielder embodying a creature of legend. Hers? A spear-born sigil capable of shattering mechs and bending digital space. When she joins a covert organization aiming to dismantle Ragnarok, April discovers she’s not alone. Other Gear users fight beside her: Jax, the brilliant strategist; Saya, the deadly calm blade; Kai, a hawk-gear user with a fire-forged past; Dante, the powerhouse with unmatched resilience; Juno, the data genius cloaked in mischief; and the Leader, a figure shrouded in mystery who knows more about April’s past than he lets on. As April navigates brutal missions and high school halls alike—where rivals like Tessa Lane threaten her sanity with cruel mind games—she must balance normalcy and the battlefield. Every encounter pushes her closer to the truth: about her powers, her family, and Ragnarok’s true purpose. But none are more telling than her growing connection with Astra, a lone Gear user with platinum hair and a piercing gaze. Astra has the power, the knowledge, and a burning desire for vengeance. April needs her—but Astra isn’t so easily convinced to join a cause she doesn’t trust. The deeper April digs, the more the lines blur between ally and enemy. With Ragnarok’s agents—like the cold and calculating River Hoss—looming on the horizon, April must decide who she’s willing to trust, who she’s ready to fight, and how far she’ll go to protect what little she has left. The world doesn’t need a hero. It needs a weapon. And it just found one.
